Mom we have shared 43 wonderful, hard, weird, loving, overwhelming years. You are the best mom a girl could ever ask for. I never wanted this day to happen. I wanted to have you forever, but I know you were tired. I’m sorry mom for the pain you endured. I’m sorry that I couldn’t fix it. I pray that you know that i love you so much and will never let you go. You will remain in my heart for all time. I love you mom.
